San Angelo man indicted on suspicion he created fake Facebook page to blackmail women

SAN ANGELO — A 45-year-old San Angelo man was indicted by a grand jury on three counts of sexual coercion, each a state jail felony, after officials accused him of threatening to reveal the intimate visual materials of at least two women, records state.

On Oct. 2, 2018, officers with the San Angelo Police Department executed a search warrant, issued by District Judge Jay Weatherby, at a residence in the 3100 block of West Beauregard Avenue, according to an earlier news release.

Investigators believed a man staying at the residence — later identified as Danny Wayne Juarez — threatened to publish "intimate visual materials of a female," according to the warrant.

Police believe Juarez created fake Facebook profiles and contacted women to offer "tattoo services as well as plaster-cast pregnancy belly, breasts, and genitalia molds, and cakes, in exchange for payment," according to the release.

In some incidents, Juarez "obtained photographs of his victims’ breasts and then threatened to publish them if the victims do not comply with his demands," records state.

Juarez was booked into Tom Green County Jail on Oct. 2, 2018, and released the following day on a $10,000 bond, according to online jail records.

If found guilty, Juarez could spend up to two years in confinement and pay up to $10,000 in fines.
